Apache Solr is a great tool that scales well. It is a very robust and fault-tolerant open source Java-based search tool. Its peculiarity lies in supporting NoSQL and database queries through REST APIs such as Elasticsearch. In addition, it stores data and provides distributed indexing, replication, automatic failover and recovery, and load-balanced queries for near-real-time data queries.
